So that's what happens if you enable 2fA. I have disabled it after I left a Github org where 2fA was required, and haven't enabled it since. However, Github now regularly sends me e-mails with auth codes, basically forcing mail-based 2fA on me. It's annoying as hell and I can't disable it, nor does Support want to do anything about this. Very sad as I'm using a password manager and my password should be safe.
- fnky 7y ago> I'm using a password manager and my password should be safe. You may have forgotten that it doesn't matter how you store your password, but the problem is that it is a single factor. Once compromised, one can gain access to anything within that account. You may be compromised by phishing, keylogging or other means. 2FA can help with making these types of attacks more difficult, although not impossible.
